The Nelson batholith underlies much of the western part of the Kootenay district where it is a complex of intrusives rocks differing in struc- ture, texture and composition. The Nelson batholith is the principal rock type within the Slocan City camp and in this area it is subdivid- ed into three phases (Cairnes, 1934) - granitic porphyry, crushed porphyry, and massive equigranular granite and granodiorite. The granitic porphyry is the predominant phase and hosts most of the ore deposits. Exposed surfaces of the rock are light grey with a flesh-colour hue due to weathering of the feldspar.

Davidson PO Box 294, Nakusp, British Columbia, Canada V0G 1R0 Abstract from the nonpasserine species accounts. Between August 1975 and December 2012, 266 species of birds, including nonpasserines and passerines, were recorded in the Nakusp, New Denver, and Burton regions of southeastern British Columbia. Accounts for 146 species of nonpasserines (55% of the total number of species) were published (Davidson 2011). The following and final component treats the 120 species of passerines. Accounts for regularly occurring species usually include six parts: status, ornithological history, descriptions of non-breeding and breeding habitats, occurrence and migration chronologies (i.e., early arrival, peak movement, and late departure), specific breeding information, and comments. The latter provides clarification for taxonomic decisions, noteworthy regional and provincial distributional information, relevant literature, and a summary of Nakusp Christmas bird counts from 30 consecutive years. The passerine species accounts have been Figure 104.

  • Bluebell Mine – Remediation of a Historic Mine Site
    Proceedings of the 25th Annual British Columbia Mine Reclamation Symposium in Campbell River, BC, 2001. The Technical and Research Committee on Reclamation BLUEBELL MINE - REMEDIATION OF A HISTORIC MINE SITE BJ. Donald, P.Eng., Teck Cominco Metals Ltd. WJ. Kuit, Teck Cominco Metals Ltd. and N.L. Sandstrom, P.Eng., Morrow Environmental Consultants Inc. Teck Cominco Metals Ltd., 500 - 200 Burrard Street, Vancouver, BC Morrow Environmental Consultants Inc., 1125A Industrial Road #3, Cranbrook, BC ABSTRACT The Bluebell Mine was a lead, zinc and silver mine discovered circa 1820 that had been exploited by a number of owners until its final closure in 1972. It is located in the hamlet of Riondel, BC. Kootenay Lake surrounds the mine site on three sides. Cominco Ltd. acquired the surface and mineral rights in the 1930s and operated a mine and concentrator from 1952 to 1972. The mine was reclaimed to the standards of the day upon closure. In 1997, Cominco initiated a series of phased investigations to identify potential environmental and public safety issues at the site. The site contains waste rock dumps, process fines (residual tailings and concentrates) and deposits of Mine Water Discharge (MWD) fines that had been pumped to surface during mine operations. The process fines and MWD fines existed both on land and in Kootenay Lake, including the foreshore areas of Galena and Bluebell Bays. The site had surface and groundwater issues related to both Acid Rock Drainage (ARD) and neutral pH metal leaching (ML). In 2000, Cominco initiated a remedial program to substantially improve both the environmental and public safety aspects of the site.
